It seems trying to fetch Maven artifacts from remote repository unnecessarily.

It would take 40000 seconds to fill 167 x 167 table for pair-wise comparison.

There was a bug where each cell of the pair-wise comparison fetching all artifacts in the BOM. Fixed. Now it looks like this:

Even with session.setOffline(true), it remains the same. So the slowness is not from network IO.

Pairwise comparison table for 167x167 (skipping same version) took 9 hours.
